SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,304, dated June 26, 1883.

Application filed May Q5, 1883. (No model.)

To rzJZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, CLAUDE V. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the 4city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain .whereby the Acost of such furniture is materially reduced; and it consistsl of a table or cruit caster having a butter-dish for its base when connected, and when separated the doineshaped cover of the butter-dish constitutes the base ofthe caster.

In the accompanying drawings, Figurel repy resents an elevation of the caster and butterdish'connected'orcombined, Fig. 2, a centralA f vertical section, showing one means of their connection; Fig. 3, the caster and butter-dish detached. Y

rlhe saine letters appearing on the several gures indicate like parts.

A represents a table-caster holding any desired nuniberof cruits, afand constructed in every respect like the ordinary table-caster,

except that itsnbase a is of doine or other suitable hollow forni to serve as a cover for .the butter-dish B, which latter consists of a pan or receptacle, b, for ice, and a perforated tray,

c, (shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3,) on which` the butter is placed. The ice-pan I) is constructed with an upwardly-projecting rini, d, having two or inore elbow-slots, e, therein, while the lower edge, c, of the base ofthe caster ts over or outside of the rini d, and is provided with two or more inwardlylprojecting lugs, f, to engage with the elbow-slots e, so that when either part is slightly turned the two are secured together.

Any other suitable device-such as clips l1., to engage with a projecting rim, on., on the lower part of the base c of the caster properinay be used, by which the caster and butterdish may be connected to form one handsome piece of table-furniture.

Knife-rests ginay also be attached to the outer periphery of the butter-dish B.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A new article of manufacture, consisting of a table-caster and butter-dish coinbined and connected =to.fo-rni one article of table-furniture, substantially as shown and described.

In testirhony whereofl afix iny signature in presence of two witnesses.
